OUR FESTIVALS HELP TO:

 Cultivate tolerance. To direct energies to popularization of peace, friendship, brotherhood and solidarity of the peoples of the world by means of art of dance and music, by means of rich revered folk standards of self-expression and intercourse. Associating by means of imagination and art, the representatives of various nations of the world meet and share the most secret: the works of cultural and artistic expression.

 Consolidate the image of their own country, republic or city. Just by means of popularization of culture, skills demonstration, our young artists the world will learn your country, nation and even a small settlement…

 Self-discipline. Every festival of ours has its own regulations and program, its own features and level of complexity of scoring system. Deviation from the program without agreement with Organizing Committee is not allowed. Clear communication between the Organizing Committee and the teachers, clear adherence to the rules by all the participants of the festival is required.

 Mutual help. You should offer your help to producers and teachers because it is a big festival world and during the festival we all are one, big family regardless of the competition on the stage!

 Information value. It is advisable to prepare information booklets about your group, to bring souvenirs typical to your country or city because you will be met by officials and some souvenirs will fall into a special museum of “Fiestalonia”. Be ready for the interview with foreign media!

 Motivation. The main idea of our festivals is to give an opportunity to boys and girls (schoolchildren and students of Institutes or Universities) to put their dreams into reality, to show other people their abilities, to demonstrate their skills to audience, to enable teachers to share experience! That is the reason why the festival organized by us is big art laboratories for children and youth. Festival is a cultural event that presents work of various groups of the world!
